 <\/p>\n

Bridgers isn\u2019t done yet, though. She just announced an EP, set to drop November 20, called Copycat Killer<\/em>. <\/span>The four-track project will feature new arrangements of her <\/span>Punisher<\/span><\/i> tracks \u201cKyoto,\u201d \u201cSavior Complex,\u201d \u201cChinese Satellite\u201d and the title track, and will feature <\/span>Grammy<\/span>-winning musical arranger and string player Rob Moose<\/a>, who has previously worked with artists like <\/span>FKA twigs<\/span><\/a> and Bon Iver<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cKyoto (Copycat Killer Version)\u201d has already been released, and if you thought a Phoebe Bridgers song was emotional before, wait \u2018til you hear them as a string arrangement. The track originally featured grungy guitars and a cheerful melody played on a Pocket Piano synthesizer. The strings on the new version give Bridgers\u2019 lyrics the chance to shine, creating a song that is more mournful and pensive in tone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to see the world \/\/ through your eyes until it happened \/\/ then I changed my mind,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>Bridgers sings, her delicate tone giving it a heavier emotional punch than in the original version of the song.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong><\/em>This song is about being on tour and hating tour, and then being home and hating home,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Bridgers told AppleMusic<\/a>. \u201cI miss the life I complained about, which I think a lot of people are feeling. I hope the parties are good when this shit [the pandemic] is over. I hope people have a newfound appreciation for human connection and stuff. I definitely will for tour.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
